This film had no atmosphere of the 1940s, yes everyone was dressed up in the right way but there was no war feeling or character involved. Driving a car around the country when petrol was precious and needed for the war effort?? Children actually being listened to with regard to what they wanted, no the adults were in charge in those days, children didn't have a voice.
The film did not represent what it was supposed to and I would say written by someone who hasn't got a clue what life was like back then. The girl screaming in the shop because she couldn't have the chocolate she wanted, well that would not have been tolerated and as for the adults surrounding her showing her sympathy, nah dreamland more than summerland. It was so removed from reality that it should have been labelled a fantasy film.
